    Charming hotel, great location. the central position made it easy to access local attractions, and I appreciated the helpful staff, especially the younger team members, who made my stay enjoyable during my two-night visit.

    superb breakfast
    beautiful room

    I recommend it for couples looking for comfort

    I had a lovely stay. The breakfast choice was superb, and the staff were unexpectedly warm and accommodating, making the experience really special. Oh, and the Standard room? Absolutely beautiful, once we figured out where it was! I literally stepped out and the cathedral was right there, just a two-minute walk. That kind of location? It's perfect!

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but still acceptable.

    My stay at The Swan was delightful, especially with the easy access to Wells Cathedral. The charming atmosphere and lovely decor enriched my experience. noise from outside disturbed my sleep a bit. Still, I would highly recommend this hotel for any cultural enthusiast!

    Perfect spot for exploring!

    I had a blast staying here! The room was super comfy and really spacious. It had a kettle for my morning tea. The breakfast spread was fab, especially the pastries! I enjoyed chillin’ outside with a drink and that view of the cathedral is just wow. The only bummer was parking spots filled up fast, gotta get in early!
